Title: Defroster Prob--does anyone make this part?
Post by: AJII on November 24, 2011, 10:14:57 pm

Working out all the bugs on my 85. Finally got the blower fan working, but defrost didn't work.

Took it all apart and found out why. The little white hinge that keeps the mixer door closed was broken. Does anyone know where I can get one? (besides a junkyard)

Thanks!

     I would check with your local parts warehouse, or I am thinking donor truck or junkyard/pick - pull type yard.

It's called a diverter valve link connector.

Had the same problem,  and made my own from some small aluminum angle.  Doesn't look like the stock part,  but it functions the same,  and is probably more durable.
